DID YOU KNOW THAT

THE STUDY OF TRAFFIC
FLOW IS AN INSANELY
COMPLEX FIELD OF
MATHEMETICS AND
CIVIL ENGINEERING?

EVERYONE FINDS TRAFFIC FRUSTRATING,
BUT THOSE WHO ARE TRYING TO MAKE IT
BETTER FIND IT EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING.

Assume you are now an engineer trying to figure

out the ideal design for a building, you could
eventually find your way to a solution.

However, if you're an engineer trying to figure

out how to construct highways for mass
transportation, the number of parameters
involved in traffic flow is nearly infinite. LEARN MORE
THERE WILL BE A LOT
OF PARAMETERS
Individual driver reactions, fluctuating
community population, the activity level of
various areas at any given time of day, motor
vehicle accidents, road construction, road
conditions, the city's budget, the weather, and
many other factors.

Perhaps the biggest headache for the

folks in charge of road construction is
the dreaded interchange.

 A road junction where you can access major

highways through entrance and exit ramps.

Interchanges are created to meet specific local conditions

INTERCHANGE and driving expectations. It is utilized to provide a safe
method for cars to either get on the road or get off the road
while avoiding the rest of the cars that need to keep going.
BUT HERE'S THE CATCH,

INTERSECTIONS
ARE TERRIFYING.
There are 32 opportunities for cars
to collide when two two-lane roads
intersect. Good news is that
Engineers are finding way to fix this.

 One example of an interchange is the

DIAMOND INTERCHANGE

A diamond interchange
is a form of road junction that is commonly utilized where a
controlled-access highway crosses a local road.

It is also one of the most frequent type of
interchanges and can be found in both rural and
urban settings. However, because of the high
volume of left-turning movements on the junction,
they can get congested, and they frequently

incorporate signals that control ramp access to and

from the crossroad.

The spacing between the ramps is crucial for

effective traffic flow through the interchange.

Here's how it works before the
new system:
intersections were placed on either
end of the entrance and exit ramps,
which resulted in constant stops
and traffic backups.
The new system
temporarily shifts the traffic into the opposite lane,
and allows vehicles leaving an easier way to exit,
while the vehicles continuing down the road can
move along at a steady clip controlled by traffic
lights.
This allows for two-phase operation at all signalized
intersections, cars no longer have to clear opposing traffic
when making long turns, making things much safer.
 the new system is designed to shorten the time
you're stopped.
there are barriers coupled with this lane, design to
to make long story short; eliminate opportunities for car accidents.
easy visibility and they've eliminated the possibility
of accidents from oncoming traffic, because there
is no oncoming traffic, that's been shifted to the
other side of the road.
THE ROAD IS DESIGNED TO
ELIMINATE CHANCES OF
COLLISIONS

There are 32 potential accident

spots at a regular interchange and
this design lowers that to 14 .

Moreover, traffic and mass

transportation systems are extremely
hard to study.
So, the next time you see annoying road
construction, remember that even though
road improvements appear to be moving at
a snail's pace, things are still improving, and
many people are working extremely hard to
ensure that you arrive safely at your
destination.
